Now, whilst accepting that you will not be able to divulge any sources, can you explain why the information you are apparently privvy to is the exact opposite to the explanations given by the company themselves?
For example, the following is Virgin's official line on ESPN:
"BT now owns the ESPN and ESPN HD channels, so you’ll only be able to watch this content on Virgin Media until 31 July 2013. We’re currently talking to BT about showing these channels after this date."
This information is taken directly from the Virgin website.
Whereas you've said:
If I've read your posts correctly, you're saying that Virgin and ESPN have an agreement that isn't changed by the fact that the ESPN business is now owned by BT and Virgin has been taken over by Liberty. But Virgin themselves are saying that since BT now own the ESPN channels they won't be able to show them unless they come to a new, separate agreement with BT.
My question to you, quite simply, is this: Is the information on the Virgin website, bearing in mind the importance of it being correct, wrong? |
I outlined the correct position as it stands, but that does not mean that BT and/or VM are incorrect as the existing contract can be superceded at any time if both parties mutually agree.
I would not be able to comment on the outcome of any various discussions that may have taken place surrounding this as I either do not know of the outcome or am bound by commercial confidentiality.
I'm sorry I could not be of more help with this
